The group, Action Against Ulez, branded the Ulez cameras as 'scameras' and demanded that Khan step down as mayor

Protesters against Sadiq Khan’s Ulez scheme have demonstrated outside the mayor’s home, as hatred towards the expansion continues to grow.

Agitated drivers and motorists have pitched tents and raised signs outside Khan’s property in South London.


The group, Action Against Ulez, even brought a caravan along with them, with the word “Sack Khan” written on the side.

Action Against Ulez members were wearing high-vis jackets for the demonstration, which they described as a “hunger strike and protest”.

Signs dotted around the front of the property read “Are you listening yet Mr Khan”; “Ulez expansion justified with lies”; and “Stop the toxic air lie”.

Group members also branded the Ulez cameras as “scameras” and demanded that Khan step down as mayor.

The anti-Ulez group posted on social media that the event would be a “flash Ulez protest and hunger strike” that would be “close to Khan’s house for a peaceful Ulez protest and carnival!”

The protest comes following the expansion of the clean air scheme across all of Greater London.

Drivers of non-compliant vehicles now must pay a daily fee of £12.50 to drive into the city through the zones.

Many furious motorists have protested the scheme in a variety of different ways.

Last month, drivers in Bexleyheath blocked the cameras with a van, in an attempt to stop the devices catching non-compliant vehicles.

In Cudham, a village in Greater London, vandals are destroying cameras.

It has been claimed that the devices “don’t even last a day”.

A garage owner in Cudham supported the vigilante’s efforts to disable the cameras, stating: “I think if you can’t get any satisfaction based on trying to talk to someone, how are you going to get any action done? Political leaders don’t listen to you. You have to drop them a hint.”

Earlier in September, GB News spoke to a ‘Blade Runner’ Ulez vigilante who has been sabotaging the cameras.

Lee – not his real name – estimates that he has disabled more than 60 cameras himself.

Justifying his controversial actions, Lee exclusively told GB News: “It is a war on working-class people, the poorest people, the ones who can't afford a compliant car. It's a tax on the poor.”
